Chapter 710: Are you crazy?! Don’t Be Rash!

The office was silent for a while.

Lu Zhan put down his teacup and looked up. “Do you want to look for her?”

“No.” Lu Chengzhou propped his arm on his knee and tapped off some of ash on his cigarette. “But if the Blood Institute’s experiment fails, I have no choice.”

Hearing such utilitarian words, Lu Zhan frowned. “Chengzhou, I’m not hiding anything about your Mom from you, but you have to understand her.”

“Yeah, I understand.” Lu Chengzhou’s reply was very half-hearted. He flicked the lighter.

After taking a puff, he slowly let out the smoke. Through the greyish haze, his expression was unreadable.

Lu Zhan knew that there was no use in him saying anything. After thinking for a moment, he reminded him, “You know about the situation at Jijing Island. She can’t be of much help to you.”

The Ye family had always kept the lowest profile among the four big families on Jijing Island. They were not very influential. Even if they did offer their opinions, they wouldn’t be given face at the Elders’ Association.

What Lu Chengzhou wanted was in the hands of the Elders’ Association.

Lu Chengzhou smiled, however his gaze remained indifferent. “You make it sound like she would listen to whatever I say.”

He had never met his mother. The Ye family would not act on anything solely based on a blood relationship.

However, a business transaction could be made.

Looking at the mocking smile on his face, Lu Zhan pursed his lips. “When are you going to control this bad temper of yours? She is your mother after all.”

Lu Chengzhou could not be bothered to refute him. “Ok, mother.”

Such a nonchalant attitude was more infuriating than the two bickering.

Not wanting to continue this topic, Lu Zhan asked, “I have something to ask you.”

Lu Chengzhou tapped his cigarette again..

Lu Zhan’s gaze was solemn. “You have previously halted this project. Why are you mobilizing so many resources for it all of a sudden?”

Almost all the staff at Red Scorpion’s medical department had been transferred out. Only a few of them were left to deal with emergency situations within Red Scorpion. This was not including the rest of the special researchers at 10 other provinces.

He had not mobilized so many people before, not even at the start of the project.

Lu Chengzhou did not answer him. Instead, he asked, “Dad, do you think the fastest solution to this is destroying Jijing Island completely?”

“Are you crazy?!” Lu Zhan’s expression changed drastically. He had not been this agitated in many years. His heart was already in his throat. “Don’t be rash.”

Lu Chengzhou leaned back languidly. Looking at Lu Zhan, he smiled. “I’m just saying this casually.”

Lu Zhan stared at him. It was quite possible for this son of his to do something crazy.

After Lu Chengzhou left the Blood Institute.

Lu Zhan sat on the sofa, looking very serious. After sitting in the same position for a while, he got up and walked to the telephone on the office desk. He hesitated for a moment before he dialed a number he knew like the back of his hand.

…

Jijing Island.

In the study of the Ye family.

A woman wearing a black cheongsam with golden embroidery was sitting behind the desk with her long legs crossed. Her eyes looked exquisite and her eyes were curved. The woman’s features were sophisticated and stunning. She seemed dignified and respectable.

Elder Ye had just returned from the Elders’ Association. “Huo Zhi is back from Mingyu Island.”

Ye Junci looked up. Her eyes were as dark as ink. “Alone?”

Elder Ye nodded. “The Elders’ Association threw a fit. They brought so many people and made such a huge commotion, yet they returned with nothing.”

Ye Junci chuckled and did not comment on anything. She only asked, “Did you see the Gu family’s young lady at the Elders’ Association?”

“No.” Elder Ye shook his head and added, “She didn’t reveal herself even when she was on Jijing Island. Only the Head Elder and Huo Zhi have the right to check that information.”

Just then, the phone on the desk rang. Ye Junci picked up the phone and looked at the caller ID. It was a long and complicated chain of encrypted digits.

She paused for a moment before looking up at Elder Ye. “You can leave first.”

Elder Ye said politely, “Okay.”

After saying this, he got up and left the study.
